How a roof survey works in Radnage

Our roof survey gives you a clear picture of your roof’s condition. Slates or tiles, ridges, hips, valleys, flashings, chimneys and gutters are all checked, and the roof space where there is safe access. You get a report with photographs and recommendations. Where it is relevant, the recommendations are prioritised by urgency. We survey clay and concrete tiles, the roof space and ridges, hips and valleys, and people most frequently book us about crumbling chimney pointing or cracked flaunching and cracked mortar along the ridge.

In a small place like Radnage, many roofs stand in the open, which is hard on ridges, chimneys, flashings and gutters. Older walls take a long time to dry once water gets in. A roof report shows what needs attention first. On exposed older roofs, chimneys and lead flashings are often the first to give way.

It is not only a list of defects. It explains what we found, why it matters and what we recommend, so you can plan your next steps.

  • The condition of the rest of the building (that is a RICS home survey)

Radnage: your questions answered

Is my home in Radnage listed or in a conservation area?

The council and Historic England’s list are the places to check. Either can affect what roof work is allowed, so it’s worth checking before planning any.

Do you cover smaller places like Radnage?

Yes, we do. We work right across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it’s useful to know about access.

How do I book a survey in Radnage?

To arrange a survey, ring 07833 053749 or drop us an email and let us know the address and what you’d like to know. We’ll confirm the price and find a day that suits.

Do you go up on the roof?

Only where it is safe to do so. We also inspect from the ground, from windows and vantage points, and from the loft. The Premium Survey adds a drone where applicable.

Is this a RICS survey?

No. We’re experienced roof surveyors, and our survey covers the roof rather than the whole building. If you need a full building survey, you will need a RICS survey as well.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in if we are looking inside or in the loft. Access is agreed with you as you book.

Are you insured?

Our surveys are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance. Ask if you need details for a managing agent or building owner.

Roof surveys in Radnage: local notes

About 3.2 miles south-east lies West Wycombe Park House, a reminder of how long the area around Radnage has been built on. If you own one of the older houses, expect a mix of original materials and later repairs on the roof, and a listed home or one in a conservation area may need consent for changes of material. Where the drone is part of the survey, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying.

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, old fixings, lead flashings and tall chimneys are typical of older roofs. If you look after a building such as Radnage Church of England Primary School, long gutter runs and wide roofs on a building that size are worth checking on a regular cycle.

Prices for roof surveys in Radnage

Every roof is different, so prices are confirmed before booking. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether thermal imaging or a drone is needed
  • Basic, Standard or Premium
  • Chimneys, valleys, parapets and other details
  • The type of building, from a house to a block or an office

Every price we give includes VAT, and the report isn’t charged as an extra. Roof survey starts from £150, including VAT. Where your roof sits in the range depends on its size, height and access.

Helping us price your survey

What helps most when you contact us:

  • Your timetable, such as an exchange date
  • Any photos you have, taken from ground level or a window
  • The kind of building and roof involved
  • How the loft is reached, if there is one

To book a survey, phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form and let us know the address and what’s prompted the survey. We’ll confirm the price before you book.

What we are asked to look at in Radnage

Not every roof problem comes from outside. A badly ventilated loft collects condensation, and the damp gets into timbers and insulation. It is often mistaken for a leak, and it needs a different fix.

It is worth booking a survey if you’ve seen:

  • Ponding, splits or blisters on flat roofs
  • Condensation or damp timbers in the loft
  • Lifted, split or missing lead flashings
  • Ridge tiles that have lifted or moved

Landlords with a home close to Saunderton station may find that a roof report between tenancies helps plan work before a small defect becomes a tenant’s leak.

What to check before booking

  • Whether the price includes VAT
  • Which parts of the roof they’ll actually see
  • How long the report takes to arrive
  • Whether the roof space is looked at, where there is one

What’s in a roof survey

Can I check my roof myself?

It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Send it with your enquiry and it will help the survey.

Look up at the roof after a storm, from the ground: pieces of tile or slate on the ground, a gap in the ridge or a lifted flashing are all worth noting. Leave anything above ground level to a survey.

Why it is worth a survey now in Radnage

Without a survey, you are guessing at what the roof needs. You might pay for work that doesn’t fix the real problem, or to a real problem being missed. A survey tells you what actually needs attention. Where a roof is exposed, as many are in small places like Radnage, driving rain gets into any weakness, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

All our prices include VAT. Prices start from £150, including VAT. You’ll know the price for your survey before you book.

How it works

Safety comes first on every visit. We inspect what can be seen safely, and anything we can’t see is noted in the report. The survey usually takes between one and two hours for an ordinary house roof, and longer if there are extensions, dormers or several chimneys. Rural addresses near Radnage can be hard to find from a postcode alone, so a few directions are welcome. After that, the survey runs as it would anywhere.

  1. You let us know the address, the type of roof and what’s worrying you.
  2. We agree a date, including weekends if that suits you.
  3. Outside, we inspect from ground level, windows and other safe vantage points, and from the roof where safe.
  4. Inside, we check the loft space where there’s safe access.
  5. We email a written report with photos and recommendations.

How to prepare

  • Point out any leaks or damp patches
  • Dig out any old roof reports or invoices
  • Jot down any questions you want answered
